National Trust Community and stakeholder survey

Plans for the future management of Formby's Coast are beginning to take shape. We are looking for contributions and feedback on these plans from the local community and all those who care about the coast.

The proposals are outlined in the 'Future of Formby' booklet available from our consultation events or the National Trust Kiosk at Victoria Road. The booklet can also be downloaded from the 'Get Involved' section of the National Trust Formby website: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/formby/projects/get-involved---the-future-of-formby-point
